Optimisation of Enzyme-Assisted Extraction of Oil Rich in Carotenoids from Gac Fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng.)

Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng.) fruit arils contain an oil rich in carotenoids, especially lycopene and β-carotene, which can be enzymatically extracted in water. Response surface methodology was used to determine the factors influencing the enzymatic extraction of oil from gac fruit arils....
